RANGE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 235,349, dated December 14, 1880.

Application filed September 13, 1880. (Model) To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GILEs F. FILLEY, of St. Louis, Missouri, have made a new and useful Improvement in Ranges, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making part of this specification, in which Figure 1 is a view, in perspective, of that part of the range with which the improvement is immediately connected, the damper being turned up and a portion of the outer and inner walls of the range being broken away to exhibit the interior construction; and Fig. 2, a similar view, but showing the damper turned down.

The same letters denote the same parts.

The present invention is an improvement in ranges having three flues, and it is one of a series of modifications of the construction patented to David H. Nation, June 1, 1880, and numbered 228,270.

In the construction referred to a divisionstrip extends from the back side of the range to the opposite side thereof,just beyond the diving fines, and the heat-currents are drawn to the sides of the top flue, and the heat thereby applied to better advantage.

This improvement has especial relation to the construction of the division-strip referred to and the arrangement of the damper.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the improved range, having the fire-place B, the flue 0 leading from the fire-place, the diving flues D D, side bottom lines, E E, center bottom flue, F, ascending flue G, flue-space H, and oven I, as in the original construction.

K represents the division-strip extending from the side a of the range to the side a. In place, however, of being a continuous imperforate strip, as in the former construction, it is cut away at k it, over the diving flues,

leaving only a narrow portion, k k, and for the purpose of providing shoulders for the twowing damper to strike against when closed.

The damper M M,in place of being entirely below the level of the oven-top 2', as in the original construction, is partly below and partly above the oven.

The rear plates, (1 d, of the diving fines are not extended upward as high as the oven-top, and the damper M M extends, when closed, from the tops of the plates at d upward sufficiently to close the entire opening beneath the portions 7a 7a of the strip K, as shown.

To heat the oven the damper M M is turned up, andgthe course of the heat-currents is then as follows: from the flue 0 down the flues D D, and thence through the fines E E F G into the flue H. From this last-named flue the currents pass into a flue, N, that extends along the side a of the range, and to the escape N, which is arranged at or near the center of the side a, and substantially as in the original construction.

For direct draft the damper is turned down, as in Fig. 2, and the heat-currents then pass from the flue G, partly through the openings k 70 in the strip K and partly through the tops of the flues D D, into the flue H, and thence through the flue N to the escape N.

The openings k k, together with the openings at the backs of the flues D D, above the plates at d, afford ample room for the currents to pass.

The flue G, at its upper end, is shaped as shown at g, giving a larger outlet.

I claim- 1. In a range, A, the combination of the flues G, D D, H, and N, said flues O and H being separated by the strip K, and said strip being arranged, extended, and cut away at k k, substantially as described.

2. The combination, in the range A, of the tines O, D D, E E, F, G, H, and N and the damper M M, said flues G and H being separated by the strip K, and said strip being arranged, extended, and cut away at 70 r substantially as describec GILES F. FILLEY.
